The U.S. military launched airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Syria in the 29 minutes from 7:46 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. UTC on Jan. 10, 2026, officials said, the second such operation since Dec. 19 to avenge the killing of two Iowa National Guard soldiers and their American interpreter by a lone ISIS gunman, as first reported by journalist @idreesali114 and cited by Lucas Fox News. In Aleppo, the Council of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh neighborhoods announced a "partial ceasefire" aimed at allowing the evacuation of the wounded, women, and children from Khalid Fajr hospital, according to media affiliated with Kurdish-led forces as posted by @thenewregion. Kurdish Front News reported that a malfunction at the Babiri Water station has completely turned off water supply to Aleppo city, citing @KurdishFrontReports on Telegram. The water cutoff follows a statement earlier Jan. 10 by the Syrian Ministry of Energy accusing Syrian Democratic Forces militias of stopping pumping from the Al-Babiri station since 5:30 p.m. local time, a claim refuted as disinformation by SDF spokesperson Farhad Shami.
